Thin iPhone 6 Case (Socket Case) (Iteration 2)

thingiverse

See the newest version of this project here! (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2051675) This is an iPhone 6 case with 5 hex sockets located at various places. Each side around the perimeter of the phone is 2 mm thick, and the back of the phone case is about 4 mm thick. The two socket holes in the center of the case are 1/4 and 5/16 in. The three at the bottom are 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8 in. I made this in Inventor, which has a unit of mm. Cura, or possibly other slicing softwares, naturally use mm as well. So when you input the STL it will be very small. So scale it to the following dimensions. The max X dimenstion is 70.97 and the max Y dimension is 142.14. However, the depth of the case is not correct and there is no mechanism holding the phone in the case other than possibly friction. Using a ninjaflex or semiflex material and decreasing the X/Y dimensions by .25-.5 mm may yield enough friction to hold the phone, but this has not been tested. Note: There are two different STL files available for this model. One of them does not have any fillets applied to the edges of the case, and the other has a .75mm fillet applied to much of the outer edges. Print Settings Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: TAZ 5 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: High Infill: 20% Notes: This design could fairly easily be made complete by applying some kind of adhesive to the back of the case to attach it to a phone. One of my ideas was to place a piece of tape on the back of my phone, then glue the case to the tape. Post-Printing Post Printing This was a very very nice print. The quality was extremely high and there was minimal warping, stringing, or peeling on the product. How I Designed This I used Autodesk Inventor to make this design, and used 2 schematics that I found on Google Images that can be found here.
